Stelo by Dexcom

I got 2 sensors with my Oura ring 5, I had no issues with the first sensor. It connected easily and didn’t stop early. So why the 2 stars? Well taking a small break into the 2 sensors and the app is just spamming me with notifications about it being ready for a sensor. So much so I deleted the app and will redownload when I go to use the other sensor. In a half hour span I had the notification go off over a dozen times. I understand sending a notification if I close the app while using sensor since it needs the app open. But outside of that if the app is closed don’t be sending me notifications.

The app is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. It tracks my bgl and it’s easy to see how my eating, movement, and sleep affect me. What this app is NOT - CGM don’t measure your current blood glucose. They are about 15 minutes behind what’s in your finger. They measure in what’s called the interstitial fluid. Also, the app updates every 15 minutes. So when you see a bgl from 14 minutes ago, that’s really from 29 minutes ago. This is why this software is not for T1. If your bgl is in flux so much that it could kill you, go to an endo and get the dexcom7 prescribed for you. It’s literally the same hardware but with prescriptive software and firmware for people who are insulin dependent. It updates every 5 minutes, putting the largest gap between your current bgl and the sensor bgl at 19 minutes instead of 29. This isn’t a defect and all the sensors regardless of mfg work this way.
